By Jeyra March 10, 2015 | Removal of Lava Rock Mulch The home we purchased six years ago came with extensive landscaping, complete with lava rock mulch. We wanted to replace the lava rock mulch with something more biodegradable that would break down and add nutrients to the soil as it decomposed over time. However, the thought of digging out all the lava rocks that had become deeply embedded into the soil over the years seemed a formidable task. (434 words - Read the full article) |

Great selection of so many varieties of tomatoes, and also peppers and eggplant. I've had excellent service, quick delivery from them and I like that they are a local Florida based company.
Lucky for me, I live fairly near Tropiflora so they have not had to send me anything. It is my gardener's 'treat' to go and visit there, and I make it a point to attend their spring and fall Plant Festivals. If you are ever visiting this area, be sure to go to Tropiflora, and save room to take home plants! Fabulous unusual plants, the most impressive array of bromeliads and tillandsias I've ever seen, and wonderful supplies. It is totally worthwhile to join their VIPP program. You get a discount, and one e-mail per week with their specials listed.
Gee, I'm sorry I'm so late in writing this review. Last summer I ordered a couple of Orchids and a bark slab mount for my Staghorn Fern and I can't express how happy I was with my purchases. Tropical Plants and More gets an A+ from me; Ken offers quality products and very healthy plants! The packing and shipping was outstanding and the plants were perfect upon arrival. I will definitely be a returning customer!
Good service and nice, healthy plants from Texas Water Lilies. I like their selection and their prices are pretty reasonable even compared to buying locally.
I've had very nice healthy plants from C & H twice now. They are beautifully packaged, and come potted nicely in a very good medium.
I have ordered from Kartuz Greenhouses. I was more than satisfied with the shipment when it arrived. I think they are a relatively small family business which specialize in some niche plants that aren't really commonly found otherwise.
I have ordered several times from High Country Gardens in the last couple of years. I have always been more than happy with the condition of the plants upon arrival. Here is the package that arrived today (3/12/2015). Wonderful packing and healthy plants ready to grow.
Covers most veggies from Artichokes to Winter Squash. More than half of the 100+ varieties she recommends I had never heard of. Her advice for beginners on growing them is sound and she includes an appendix on seed-saving. Available in Softcover and E-book editions.
Johnny's is an excellent company with prompt courteous service. I especially like the straightforward descriptions without hyperbole. They carry varieties for both market growers and home gardeners, so the selection of modern varieties is good. It is the second company that I go to for seeds.
We keep growing, because ATP is where all the excitement is these days! Check out these numbers from last week:
